Answer:

They preferred to look for gold and other treasures than to plant crops.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1606, King James I granted a charter to a new company, the Company of Virginia, to form a settlement in North America (formed by Jamestown settlers). The Company of Virginia was more interested in seeking gold and silver deposits in the New World, as well as a river route to the Pacific Ocean, which would allow them to establish trade with the East.
